Wow! How wonderful of Mr. Parody to do this to help so many people. If I had a lot of money I would do the same thing.

Good deeds on any scale are always appreciated. Maybe we could brainstorm here on ways we could copy what he did on a scale that may be more financially feasible for more people to do.

He is a great guy and very generous. Loved that he had on his Boston Red Sox hat. He is a sponsor for the Red Sox Nation Club here in The Villages.

Greg and Jenni Parady are downright decent folk.

In August 250 people showed up for a surprise birthday party for Greg.
This was put on by the "Noah's Light Foundation".
Greg and Jenni are major contributors.

They tossed in an EXTRA $5 Grand as a token of appreciation for the brithday party. A total of Over $15,000. was raised at that event.

You've all heard of the "gift that keeps on giving", Greg Parady is the person who keeps on giving. Many charities have benefited from fund raisers and events he has sponsored.

That remains me to the story of St. Martin in France. A really generous couple and God bless their heart. Merry Christmas to them, too.

Accidentally I hit the posting button to early. I want to continue and saying, that more St. Martins around that we can imagine. Thanks.

:ohdear: Oh no, wish I saw this thread 1st. I just posted my paraphrased version of this story. I heard it on my way home from work tonight in Columbus, Ohio. I heard "The Walmart in The Villages, Fl" and perked my ears up. I hope I was close on my version.

What an awesome story, couldn't wait to share!!!

There is nothing more heartfelt and rewarding then spontaneous generosity to complete strangers. What a wonderful person he must be.

Greg and his wife are the most down to earth, generous caring people I know. He and his entire staff always go above and beyond when setting up charitable events. They are all wonderful to do business with as well. Laura
